My busiest Saturday ever had me breaking down a whole hog in under 3 hours

Last month a local farmer showed up with a 250 pound hog I wasn't expecting until Monday. Had to clear my whole day and work fast because the cooler was full. Got it broken down in about 2 hours 45 minutes but my shoulder still hurts. Anyone else have a customer drop off way more than you planned for?

My friend had a 300 pound pig show up three days early last spring.

Three hundred pounds is a lot of pig to show up early! My cousin had a similar thing happen with her sow last fall, she showed up a full five days before the due date. The piglets were all fine but she was running around the barn at like 2 AM, no warning at all (classic pig move). Ended up with thirteen little ones, and they were all healthy despite the surprise arrival.
